A 56-year-old art teacher at Jefferson Elementary School is facing charges for allegedly filming an inappropriate video of a third-grade student.

Jason Allen Bassett, of Blaine, appeared in court Wednesday and was charged with one count of interfering with the privacy of a minor, according to court records.

Charging documents state law enforcement was contacted by Bassett’s ex-wife on Monday, who told them that he had accidentally sent a video to his daughters in which he was pointing a camera up the dress of a minor.

The video displayed Bassett’s face before showing him walking over to a girl between the ages of eight and 10 and recording underneath her dress, according to the criminal complaint.

When speaking to law enforcement, Bassett admitted he recorded the video, adding he did it “for the thrill of it,” and knew it was wrong.

Bassett has 28 years of experience in the Anoka-Hennepin School District — 27 at Jefferson Elementary School and one at Andover Elementary. He is currently on administrative leave as the investigation continues, according to the principal of Jefferson Elementary School.

Blaine police said they have identified the victim and are currently working to determine if anyone else was inappropriately filmed.

Police say there is currently no indication any physical sexual assault occured.

Bassett is due back in court on July 30 for an initial appearance.
